Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway

RE: Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway Post By Happy Mommy (Guest Post) (08/26/2006) My son came with me to work today and decided my Oak desk needed a little bit of color. I was horrified when I saw all the black Sharpie artwork all over my desk. Thanks Sachi for the toothpaste advice, it worked like a charm! I used a paper towel instead of my finger, but it worked the same. You cannot tell my son drew all over my desk! Thanks for the great advice!!

RE: Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway Post By Dawnmfh (Guest Post) (02/12/2005) Slather it with peanut butter and leave it set for a few minutes. It should wipe right off and not damage the surface. RE: Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway Post by makaylasmom (5) | (01/21/2005) Contact There is a product called M-30 that is available at Dollar General Stores and it works great on almost any surface that I have tried with permanent markers, from clothes to coffee tables. Also Mean Green works very well in some instances. RE: Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway Post By Darla (Guest Post) (01/20/2005) Spray it with WD-40 and wipe off. It should come off easily.

If it does happen not to work, there is a product called Goof Off that will work. Use it carefully maybe with a q-tip to keep from damaging the finish. I bought mine at Target. Renee RE: Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway Post By Sachi (Guest Post) (01/20/2005) I've successfully removed permanent marker from wood by scrubbing with my finger and toothpaste. It left the spot I did it on a bit shinier than the rest but it took it right out. RE: Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway Post By Elaine (Guest Post) (01/19/2005) I just read the other day that a lady used Right Guard deoderant spray on everything that got permanent ink marker on from her child getting hold of one. Good luck. RE: Permanent Marker on Hard Maple Stairway Post by woreoutmommy (1) | (01/19/2005) Contact I have gotten permanent marker off with the Mr. Clean magic eraser. It worked on the wall and ceramic tile floor. I hope it will work for you. you just wet and wipe.
